A blank six-pounder was fired, but she did not heed it, so a shot was fired across the stranger's bows, and she hove-to in short order. "Steamer ahoy!" came faintly to our ears from on deck. "What steamer is that?" The answer reached us in disjointed sentences, but we heard enough to set us laughing.
The girl in the chair was shaking soundlessly under the stress of her emotions. A few disjointed phrases fell from her quivering lips. "I didn't know oh, I couldn't!" "Don't try to talk just now," Mary warned, reassuringly. "Wait until you've had something to eat." Aggie, who had observed developments closely, now lifted her voice in tardy lamentations over her own stupidity.
And if we confine our attention to certain of their theoretical admissions, we need not go further than the pages of the present volume to remind ourselves that for this assertion there are ample, if disjointed, foundations. So long as such an impression prevails, and indeed until it is definitely superseded by one more in consonance with facts, no satisfactory social policy is practicable.
His mind was wandering at random through the field of probabilities, and following in the darkness the mysterious thread, the almost imperceptible end of which he had seized at La Jonchere. Like all persons labouring under strong emotion without knowing it, he talked aloud, little thinking into what indiscreet ears his exclamations and disjointed phrases might fall.
There, Rachel, choking with terror and tears, gave the story of the morning. Deborah made no interruption and after the disjointed and unhappy recital was complete, she sat for some moments, motionless and silent. Then she arose and made as if to leave the tent, but Rachel caught at her hand in affright. "Nay, be not so frightened," the old woman said soothingly. "I go to look for Atsu.

The brother-in-law eyed her with bewildered disapproval, and in the disjointed accents peculiar to surprise was heard to make use of the words "friskiness" and "gallivanting" and "old enough to know better." Her relatives' remarks, however, caused Mrs. Banks comparatively little pain.
There had come to them the news of death day after day lads they knew and had seen laughing a few weeks before Halwyn, Meredith, Jack or Harry or Phil. A false rumour of a sudden order to the Front and they had stood and gazed into each other's eyes in a fateful hour. Robin did not know of the picture her disjointed, sobbed-forth sentences and words made clear.
In mute surprise he watched the old man tie his night-shirt up under his armpits, wade into the ice-cold water, kneel down, and begin what was evidently meant to be a prayer. His first words were conventional, but gradually his earnestness and excitement overcame his sense of the becoming, and he talked of what lay near his heart in disjointed phrases. "That young man to-day jes' jumped on me!
Lord, man, if you should once get fairly beset by a brood of grizzly bears, as happened to Hector and I, at the great falls of the Miss Ah, here comes the tail of the herd, and yonder goes a pack of hungry wolves, ready to pick up the sick, or such as get a disjointed neck by a tumble.
